WRIGHT WINS! 🏆 Peter Wright is the 2022 Interwetten German Darts Open champion! The World Champion denies Dimitri Van den Bergh in a thrilling final to clinch his first European Tour title since 2017!
Dimitri van den Bergh played his second final on the European Tour on Sunday evening. However, 'The Dreammaker' was left empty-handed, as the title at the German Darts Open went to Peter Wright 8-6.
After the semi-final, however, it was uncertain whether the Belgian could play the final at all. He started to feel unwell.
''During the game, my heart started to beat very fast. I thought, "Dimi, what's wrong?" I tried to bring it (the heartbeat) down again. Luckily my mates are here too and they tell me to calm down. What it was now, I don't know. Was it panic attack? I don't know,” said Van den Bergh.
''After I won in the semi-finals, I had the thought to give up. But you have to fight yourself. Congratulations to the winner Peter Wright. I fought until the end, but I persevered. I'm very proud of that. This second place gives me a proud feeling today.''
